If industrial wastewater is sent to foul sewer there will be a
"Trade Effluent Charge". This is calculated and collected by the
receiving Water Company to recover the cost of carriage to and treatment in
their treatment plants (sewage works). The scale of this charge depends on
set factors, coupled with the measured "strength" and quantity of the received
effluent.

If you are responsible for or have an interest in the
treatment costs of effluent discharge, Oasis have a Free Excel spreadsheet by

In other words, reduction in any or all of the above three variables leads to
reduced charges – And more control of site costs given that
the Water Companies Generate Revenue by Accepting and
Treating Wastewater.

Now it can be seen how the quarterly or annual bill is
calculated. With the help of the Mogden
Calculator this cost can be predicted and show how on-site treatment can
reduce this cost.

Contact Oasis Environmental for informal advice about your
requirements. We have the skills and experience to reduce costs and meet other
consents which may be set e.g. metals, phosphates, ammonia and colour removal.
